- Recall covers 97,349 Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer models.
- Another 3,038 Mopar roof-rack kits are affected.
- FCA says no related crashes or injuries have been reported.
It’s easy to lose things while driving down the road. A receipt through an open window. Perhaps a poorly secured mattress if you or your buddies have made some questionable choices. The roof rack on your six-figure Jeep isn’t supposed to be among those things, though. But that’s exactly what could happen to nearly 100,000 Jeep Wagoneers and Grand Wagoneers, which are now being recalled in the United States.
According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, FCA is recalling 97,349 examples of the 2022-2025 Jeep Wagoneer, 2022-2026 Grand Wagoneer, 2023-2025 Wagoneer L, and 2023-2026 Grand Wagoneer L. The problem comes down to the pivot bolts securing their roof crossbars, which may not have been tightened sufficiently.

FCA says an insufficiently torqued pivot bolt can allow the crossbar to detach from the vehicle. If that happens at speed, the company acknowledges that the liberated piece of roof rack could become a road hazard and could cause another vehicle to crash without warning. Drivers may get some advance notice in the form of a rattling noise, a visibly missing bolt, or a crossbar beginning to separate at its pivot joint.
There’s a second recall attached to the same problem, too. FCA is separately recalling 3,038 Mopar rack kits covering six different part numbers. Those accessories suffer from the same potential pivot-joint failure, and FCA estimates that 100 percent of the recalled equipment contains the defect. Some of those rack assemblies were produced as recently as July 10, 2026.
The vehicle recall carries the same rather eyebrow-raising 100-percent defect estimate. That doesn’t necessarily mean 97,349 roof racks are destined to go airborne, but it does mean FCA considers the entire recalled population potentially affected by the improperly torqued hardware. The good news is that as of August 31, Stellantis knew of just 15 potentially related warranty claims worldwide, and of them none involved accidents or injuries.
Dealers will repair the roof-crossbar pivot joints free of charge using newly designed pivot bolts. FCA expects to begin notifying owners on October 8. Until then, if your Wagoneer’s roof rack suddenly starts rattling, maybe don’t crank up the stereo and hope it sorts itself out.
